Celebrity Justice
Country Singer Accused of Assaulting Non-Fan

Miranda LambertMiranda Lambert -- a finalist on the 2003 season of "Nashville Star" -- is accused of assaulting a woman just because she didn't know who Lambert was!

Aisha Esbay, the alleged victim, tells TMZ she was sitting at a bar with friends when one of them recognized Lambert and wanted a pic. Esbay approached Lambert, said she didn't know her but her friend wanted a photo.

Lambert, Esbay says, was pissed, and shoved her into a bar stool -- multiple times.

Smith County Sherriff's Dept. tells TMZ they're investigating. At worst, they say, it will be a Class C misdemeanor -- kinda like a violent speeding ticket.

Lambert's reps tell TMZ they're in the dark about the whole thing.

33. It's a one-source story where there should be lots of witnesses.

If it were true, there'd be people backing up the charges.

It's just someone trying to milk Miranda for easy money.

34. I could see Carrie Underwood doing something like that! If Miranda were to assault someone, it would be with a broken beer bottle

36. I agree with sandyduncansglasseye. We need more REAL country women out there. I don't believe a word of this gossip rag TMZ or any of the other ones. Miranda is a cool, kickass, country girl. I'll buy her 2nd round of Jack.

I LOVE COUNTRY MUSIC.

38. This girl is trouble. Affairs with married men, brawling - she is trouble. Where are her parents?

40. Miranda Lambert is incredibly talented and seems like a really cool chick. She isn't like Mindy McCreedy.

41. I am a Miranda fan and have been for 3 years now. I know that Miranda grew up poor You need to do your research better.. Miranda has never ever treated a fan bad. Miranda is always glad to see her fans even when she is sick... more than likely this girl was drunk and made this crap up.... If you would ever meet her you would know that she is very nice....

42. This smells soooo rigged. Miranda Lambert may sing songs about being a badass but she isn't one herself. She is tough but not stupid enough for this crap. Looking forward to hearing the truth about this one! Congrats to Miranda on her charity concerts for the homeless animals.

45. I just went and read the local newspaper update on this. The lady never claimed to not know who Miranda was. That was Mirandas hometown. Miranda and Blake Shelton (yummy) were there together to support an up and coming new artist on his CD release. The "victim" had asked to have her picture taken a couple of times and Miranda kept saying later. The "victim" claims they got into an arguement and Miranda shoved her away a couple of times and she caught herself with a barstool. Charges are not likely to be filed. The victims witness is her own Mom. Way to check your sources TMZ. Yes the "victim outweighed her by more than 100lbs.
